In one column every thing that gerrymandering does. Another column, metaphors and analogies for each item. Same for motives and impacts. Powerful symbolism will emerge. I don't know how to compose music nor how lyrically dense you intend the song to be, but I think that would be a good start.

Worse than gerrymandering is the fact that the senate is done by state and that representative districts, whether gerrymandered or not, have to conform to state boundaries.

For that I would use the hyperbolic statement that Montana's (for example) senators and representative get their jobs by default because they only have three people there

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."- TGRR, raising the bar at work.

If you can't make the inscription on the statue of liberty into a horrible dystopian song, LMNO, then you need more punk in your diet.

DOOOO EEEEET
